Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz sliced Italian sausage and cook for 5 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove sausage and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 sliced bell peppers and 1 thinly sliced onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1.5 cups uncooked rice, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Step 4: Return the sausage to the skillet, nestling it into the rice. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to a preheated 375°F oven. Bake for 25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  5. Step 5: Remove lid, fluff rice with a fork, and scatter 2 tbsp chopped parsley over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
